BOTB: JR's TMI's

I was dreading this week’s country music theme but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. It wasn’t the music but JR that actually saved this week by being more amusing than anything I could actually mock. I’m warning you that watching Kelly Chase skate could cause seizers or decrease […]

I Have a Question

Yes, I’m going THERE …AGAIN.  Here is a direct quote from for NHL guidelines with regards to player contact with fans. Following is an excerpt from the section that addressed “Contact with Fans”: “Under no circumstances are Club personnel — either players or non-players — permitted to have physical contact with fans, or enter, or attempt […]

Does Winnipeg Really Exist?

To add to the recent debate over all things Canadian, I was watching The Soup (shout out to our Seattle native Joel McHale – our homey!) and the Kick Ass Clip of the Week was from – wait for it – CANADA! It led to a lively debate between Mr. Cherrie and I as to whether or […]

I Might Stab My Eyes Out: BOTB Update

Or my ears might bleed out next week all for the sake of bringing you a Battle of the Blades update. I just visited the CBC website to see what little sparkley Canadian nuggets they were going to provide for this week’s theme and I found out a couple of possibly seizure inducing gems: Theo […]

A Better Way For Fans To Handle Their Aggression

I was educating myself on the past history of fans vs players. I am also not necessarily referring to the Vancouver incident – I don’t want anyone hurt at a game – not a fan or a player. But perhaps agro fans should stay home and work it out privately than bother the rest of […]

You Make the Call

Last night against the Wild, Canuck Rick Rypien attacked a fan on his way to the locker room after getting a 10 minute major for his second fight. Personally, I think if you taunt a NHL player who has exhibited this kind of behavior, it’s like stabbing an angry tiger that’s just been stung by […]

I Have a Dream

Ok, bare with me. No, I didn’t dream this but I REALLY want this to happen. While I was watching Battle of the Blades last night, my cat was digging at me trying to get under my snuggie and he has the cutest butt! Then I was watching ValKat skate and I was mesmerized by […]

Canada – Russians Do it Better – Sorry!

Again this week they put ValKat in the bottom two when they are by far and away the best skaters – which makes me think Canadian’s are Russian skater-haters! Seriously, I don’t think my blood pressure can take many more of these episodes. Patrice and Shae-Lynn had a far less difficult routine but scored the […]

Around the NHL News and more …

Ok, Pants can totally attest to the fact that I came up with this earlier and I’m not sharing my idea here but IN THE NEWS … the NHL is partnering with Stan Lee’s SLG Entertainment LLC to create new comic heroes modeled after each team in the league. I am only going to report […]

Dawn & Don Say …It's about Passion AND Fashion!

    Take it from one who knows about fashion and passion, you can combine them both just ask my hockey husband Don! He is the Shiz of the Hockey Fashion and Passion! But as Pants said, I got my whole outfit already worked out down to my wallet and key chain for San Jose.  […]

It's Foxy Friday! Kipper Snacks For All!

    As I’ve said before, I LOVE GOALIES! So my pick this week is Miikka Kiprusoff, the Finish Bronze medalist from the 2010 Olympics. He told his country ” If I can’t be your number one goalie, I’m not interested in going.”  Guess what kids?  He went. He’s carried Calgary for the past 8 […]

Mikey got an Owie!

Mike Green got a ‘stinger’ in the third period last night against the Islanders and had to leave the game. Pants then hopped a plane immediately to put a band-aid on it and ran her fingers through his hair. I couldn’t find any footage of said ‘stinger’ so I decided in honor of Pants’ birthday […]

Bret Michaels' Thorn Kicks Seal's Rose but it's Far From Bringing Sexy Back!

What?! Yeah … those crazy Canadians! It’s the second week of Battle of the Blades and this week’s theme was BRINGING SEXY BACK but trust me, Justin Timberlake was NO WHERE IN SIGHT! It came down to Tom Warner and Georges Laraque in the final skate off. Tom skated to Bret Michael’s “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn” […]

Kopitar gets a new look

Anze Kopitar goes from looking like Malkin’s ugly younger brother to… After getting a stick to the face from Canuck’s Manny Malhotra and 18 stitches later and several lost teeth he comes back to haunt Vancouver with the winning shoot out goal! Take that Sedin twins – no form of, no super powers – even Count […]

Mr. Hilary Duff in the news again …

So when TMZ reported that Mr. Duff’s Mercedes something or other was being repossessed and he has refused to pay for it or give it back, I had visions of that show on A&E or Tru TV – REPO! Which would have been totally awesome! I could see the little pug nose leprechaun sitting on […]

Because a picture speaks 1000 words …

Ovi’s vacation in Turkey … what happens in Turkey, should stay in Turkey.

It just confirms everything I've ever believed about Canada

OK – so I’m sitting here watching the results show for BOTB II and as I noted there was no way Canadians were going to let the Russians win, but I didn’t think they were going to send them home TONIGHT! Good God! They had the highest score Sunday from the judges. Luckily, the judges […]

What I learned from BOTB last night …

1. My apologies to Pants, you wont need to become a Canadian citizen to ice dance with Sid because this season they have graciously allowed a US judge, JR, AND a Russian couple – Valerie Bure and Ekaterina Gordeeva – she’s the only figure skater I had ever heard of. I would predict that they […]

Sharpen your toe picks kids …

After the CBC canceled MVP: The Secret Lives of Hockey Wives – the BEST TV SHOW EVER! (Ok, besides Legend of the Seeker but that got canceled too) it left a void in the female hockey viewer’s life. But weep no more! They have given us BATTLE OF THE BLADES! The Canadian version of Dancing […]

This one wrote itself…

Edmonton Oiler’s goalie Nikolai Khabibulin or as I guess he is being called now “KHABI-BLEW-AN – .164 blood alcohol” this past summer … was sentence to 30 days in jail for “extreme DUI” which is twice the legal limit in most states. A fan decided to create his own jersey to commemorate the event at […]
